&quot;The Dyings have been too deep for me, and before I could raise my Heart from one, another has come.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> -Emily Dickinson


On people that deserve the Sun.
And I don’t think I can take
Much more rain because
I think I might
Drown.
I just want to see the sun
As I have been seeing it.
I don’t want the sun to go away.
It’s warmth it’s
Light it’s
Love.

I don’t think I can take
Much more rain.
I’m still waiting for the water from the
Last flood to go down.
And I want the Sun to
Come out and dry it all up like
A paper towel from the
Sky.

I don’t think I can take
Much more rain.
The house is still damp
My feet still inches deep
But I can feel the floor
And I know there is
Ground underneath that floor and
I want to be as close to it as
Possible.

I don’t think I can take
Much more rain.
The inches have become
Feet
And mine are farther away from the
Ground.
The pictures are becoming
Wet again.
The curtains too.

I don’t think I can take
Much more rain.
I’m on the top floor,
Even farther from the ground
And I’m scared I’ll fall into the
Water.
Some would say falling into
Water is better than falling onto
Ground but
I can’t swim.
